Leno being shown the door, again?

I didn't like it when Jay replaced Carson but now he's an institution.

For all the criticism Leno gets, you've got to give him credit for being atop the ratings for 20 years, especially following a legend in the host's seat.

Or it just shows how stupid the viewing audience is.

And the "Finally Someone Said Something Rational" Award goes to...

From my limited perspective (having only seen Leno a few times), if you think Henny Youngman and Bob Hope were funny, you'll love Leno.

If you think Lenny Bruce or Richard Pryor were funny, Leno...not so much.
 
About time [for Leno to leave].
  1. I hope It sticks and Leno really goes away
  2. I am wondering why it takes a whole year
  3. Think this just smells like a publicty stunt to boost both of their current ratings.

1. With Fallon taking his place it will stick.
2. It takes a while because of contracts and Leno's ego.
3. Could be. NBC certainly needs some ratings.
 
Can I get Arsenio Hall back?

Maybe I'm an old guy, but I liked Letterman over Leno for years but then switched. I rarely watch either, I read at night.

Jimmy Kimble is ok, Conan was good for awhile, and Jimmy Fallon looks like he just walked out of a tanning bed / salon and just got his eyebrows waxed.

I actually appreciate diversity in comedy. If you grew up in the Arsenio Hall time, with the dog pound, you know what I'm talking about.
